need new op xp, lost the recovery disk

Hi, my lap top had the blue screen of death and I was told needed hard drive. No recovery disk. How would I have about getting this and installation of the op and how much this cost?

A Blue Screen of Death does not always mean to replace the hard drive and reinstall XP.

Given that most store bought systems do not come with genuine bootable XP installation CD, sometimes learn how to troubleshoot BSOD in these situations.

If you want to see if you can fix your, please provide more information on your system and the question:

What is your system brand and model?

What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Defender, ZoneAlarm,.
PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

Fill in the blank: my system worked well until: _.

The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes pulling and buttons power)

Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  I know what a BSOD looks like, I need to know what your BSOD looks like.

Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • Satellite A300: Vista 64 bits after the new installation by using the recovery disk

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 A300 / M00 and when I got it, it had Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. But after awhile, I started to have problems so I decided to reinstall Vista on my laptop. After crossing with the product recovery media, my system become so 64-bit.

    Was not my system suppose to have 32-bit when it was originally with her?
    If no, then how can I install 32 bit once more on my laptop like 64-bit gives me problems with the installation of some of my programs.

    If I need to buy a copy of Vista 32 Bit, where can I find the drivers for my system, because the product recovery media has all the drivers on this subject.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hmm. Your ad is a little confusing.

    Why would you say that Toshiba Recovery disk contains a version of Vista 64-bit?
    How did you check that?
    From my experience, the Toshiba recovery disc still contains the preinstalled operating system.

    Also as much as I know the new notebook from Toshiba are not delivered with the recovery disk, but with a HARD drive recovery option.
    This option allows you to reinstall the OS from the second partition of HARD drive recovery.
    Alternatively, you can use the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator software to create the own recovery DVDs! And this recovery disk contains the same preinstalled OS!

  • Pavilion 4070 - us: new hard drive for the recovery disks do not work! Help!

    Hi - the hard drive on my Pavilion 4070 - crashed us, so I bought a replacement - a Samsung SSD 850 EVO, 256GB drive.  The problem is that I can't seem to get the recovery disks to work, and neither Microsoft nor HP is willing to help me.  Of course, Microsoft tells me they don't give me any help for Windows7 OEM versions and HP said that my product is no longer supported so they do not help me.  This is ridiculous - I own a legal copy of Windows 7 and I can't get any help from the company who sold me the computer?

    What happens when I go through the process of installation with the recovery discs, is that instead of the Windows installation continue as it is supposed to, I have "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any."  I'm desperate, I tried two different options - one was the minimum image recovery, the other was a factory restore.  Nothing seems to work. What can I do?   Moreover, the original hard drive is not * completely * dead - I can still access most of the data on it.

    Hello

    You can order the recovery of the ASP disk in your country or you try to reinstall the operating system by using the original Microsoft disc.
    This would be to install a clean Windows operating system and the missing drivers of Toshiba you can download and install from the Toshiba driver page we:

  • Satellite l.660-12 q - would the recovery disk rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition

    Talk about confusion. Does anyone know how to get a Toshiba C660 work after the HARD drive failed and the owner has stupidly NOT followed the instructions to make a recovery disk. Will be the recovery disk (if buy you one from Toshiba) rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition and install windows 7 (original OS) and accept the product key printed on the Windows license, attached to the base of the laptop. I have read a number of suggestions, but these have been considered incorrect by others.

    Surely, Toshiba must have a way to sort this problem.

    They read these messages?

    Hey Buddy

    I don't think it's really complicated, that I could find all the information about the recovery procedure in the user's manual

    The recovery disk must be created on the first day of purchase its recommended to create one in case something would be wrong with the HARD drive.

    The recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package containing Win system, drivers, tools and all the stuff pre-installed on the notebook.
    You bought the laptop and the system has already been activated so that you have need of t the key placed at the bottom of the unit.
    In addition, the use of the recovery disc formats the drive HARD integer (partitions too) and set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of the purchase.

    There is also another option to recover the notebook called HARD drive recovery. This HARD drive recovery requires no recovery disk. The recovery disc HARD would be to use format ONLY partition C (System).

  • Info satellite A210 171 what do I need before using the recovery disk?

    Hello

    I have 1 recovery disk that came with my equium, have not used before.
    It says on the back of the envelope of recovery disk 'insert the first diskette.

    I guess there should be a second?

    Also this info I need to provide during the installation process? as serial number?
    All I have a black and white sticker that is on the side of the box, it came in, but it was so long ago.

    I'm having a lot of problems with windows install does not and many others.
    Windows updates do not work either and I tried to correct those, but a clean reinstall of the operating system has been recommended.
    Now, at this point nothing will install because windows setup will not work.
    So I think I wil lhave to try a clean install, but I do know that the cd player works.

    I got a great run on this laptop, little slow today for my needs, but all very good product, purchased in 2007.
    With a clean OS and 4 GB of ram that could last for years, cannot afford a new right now.
    I really tried to avoid using a disc of recovery in the past, as I have never had problems until now.

    Thank you

    I m wondering why you get this disc with your laptop, why? Because I do not have the recovery disk, but I had to create one using the Toshiba recovery disc creator software
    But my laptop is more recent that your A210 might be the reason why you have this drive

    I have created a recovery disk and I needed two-disc DVD, I think it depends on the size of the image file

    > Also what information I need to provide during the installation process? as serial number?
    This is not necessary because your system has already been activated.

    But I recommend you backup your personal data, because the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive and you will lose the files.

    PS: you should read other threads in product recovery forum!

  • Satellite Pro A200 - new ODD ignors the recovery disk

    Hello

    _Satellite pro A200-PSAE4E Windows XP_

    I started having bad 'not ready' system on the STRANGE original errors. Report of Toshiba Disc Creator: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H TO01. I tried the FW update, but that did not help.

    I replaced the STRANGE with a new Amazon. Report of Toshiba Disc Creator: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H SC04. The STRANGE news is listed as appropriate in the manual - it is the same model as the original. The STRANGE new works fine for normal use in XP. But when I try to use the recovery disk, it is ignored and XP always starts on the HARD drive. And when I press F12 during startup, the STRANGE news is not listed.

    Can you help me get the STRANGE recognized at boot time, please?

    Thank you.

    Can you change the boot order and set the STRANGE as first boot device?

    If it doesn t help I'll try a BIOS update. The most recent BIOS can be downloaded on the official website of Toshiba.

    But it s really strange the player works fine on XP, but you can start with him t

  • Satellite Pro A210 - how to retrieve it with the recovery disk lost?

    I had some problems with my individual Pro A210 (AMD Athlon 64 x 2, Vista, 120 GB of HDD, 2 GB of RAM), and it seems that I did the recovery disks when new and you have misplaced them.

    What can I do?

    The hard disk should have a recovery Partition.

    Try holding down the zero (0) key when you turn on the laptop, this should start the recovery process.

    If this does not work, press F8 rapidly after the Toshiba start screen to enter in the Windows Start menu, where you can choose to run the recovery/restore.
